Hypnotherapy for Confidence

CONFIDENCE is often completely unconnected to peoples’ actual abilities. Since I’ve been
a hypnotherapist in Plymouth I’ve met hundreds of talented people who feel held back by
lack of confidence.

PUBLIC SPEAKING is one area where this causes problems. Some people talk ignorant
nonsense with perfect confidence, while others have great difficulty speaking despite having
intelligence and knowledge. As a hypnotherapist I’ve helped many people to gain confidence
in public speaking and performing. The approach is mostly quite simple- using hypnosis to
teach the client to control their anxiety (See “Hypnotherapy for Anxiety”).

ASSERTIVENESS is another problem for which hypnotherapy can often help. As well as
controlling anxiety through hypnosis, Solution-Focused counselling is used to help clients
foresee and plan for the possible results of being more assertive. Assertiveness training is
not about being selfish or aggressive. It is about preventing bullying and resentment, and
helping people to achieve their full potential.
